Ready...set...murder! The Down town Woonsocket Collaborative is excited to announce their next fundraising event, "Murder at the Museum". It's 1955, Woonsocket has finally begun to recover from the massive flood that destroyed businesses, homes, and cemeteries. The City has planned a dinner to thank those who helped in the cleanup efforts and to give the citizens of Woonsocket an evening to celebrate. However, a gruesome discovery has cast a shadow on the festivities! While re-interring the displaced Precious Blood cemetery, there was one body that could not be identified. Is it the drifter who had become a menace to the City? Maybe the rumored lover of the police chief's wife? Whispers abound up and down Main Street over the identity of the deceased and just who would have used the flood to cover up their crime.

This is your chance to help solve the murder! Clues will be available in local Main Street businesses that will lead to the name and role of the victim. Clues are located at the Museum of Work & Culture, Woonsocket Historical Society, Ye Olde English, NY Lunch, Timeless Antiques, Main Street Cafe, Renaissance Tattoo Studio, Trendz, The Art Den, and Ciro's Tavern.

The event will take place on Saturday May 19th, 2018. A buffet dinner will be served by Savini's Pomodoro at 40 South Main Street (MillRace Event Space) at 6pm and then the event at 42 South Main Street (Museum of Work & Culture) which will start at 8pm. Tickets will be $40 per person for both events or only $20 per person for entry at the Museum. Guests will be able to speak to the suspects and witnesses at the event and asked to identify the murder suspect at the Museum with one lucky winner who will win a $150 gift card to Savini's Pomodoro. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress in their favorite 40's and 50's attire.

DWC Chairman Garrett Mancieri says, "An event like this is always a great time. It is not only a fun night out in downtown Woonsocket, but it also encourages visitors to our local businesses to gather up the clues to help them solve the mystery. We hope that you will buy tickets and join us for a great time out that should be a night to remember." DWC is a 501c3 organization and tax advantages may apply for the purchase of tickets and sponsorships.

Please share this email with your family and friends. Hope to see you there this Saturday!

President Trump says on Twitter he was forced to pull out of his planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In a letter to Kim, Trump cited "tremendous anger and open hostility" in recent statements from the North. The withdrawal comes after a North Korean official called Vice President Mike Pence a "political dummy" for comparing North Korea to Libya. &nbsp &nbspFlorida Senator Marco Rubio is agreeing with the President's decision to pull out of the summit with Kim Jong Un. Rubio tweeted shortly after the announcement saying it's "100 percent the right decision." He added a mock congratulations to Kim, saying, "You just played yourself." But New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez criticized the Trump administration for not doing more "deep preparation" before agreeing to a summit." &nbsp &nbspActor Morgan Freeman is reportedly being accused of sexual harassment. CNN reports that eight women have come forward about Freeman's inappropriate behavior while working on his movies. A former production assistant tells the network that Freeman repeatedly asked her to lift up her skirt and made comments about her figure in 2015 during filming of "Going In Style." She adds that co-star Alan Arkin saw it happening and told Freeman to stop. &nbsp &nbspThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says there will be a near or above normal hurricane season this year in the Atlantic Basin. In its forecast released today, the NOAA says ten to 16 named storms are expected, five to nine of which are going to be hurricanes, and one to four that will become Category Three or higher hurricanes. The Atlantic Basin comprises the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. &nbsp &nbspPublix Super Markets says it regrets that some of its political contributions have led to "an unintentional customer divide." The Florida-based chain issued a statement following Stoneman Douglas shooting survivor David Hogg's announcement of what he calls a "die-in" to take place at two stores in Parkland tomorrow. The event is a protest of Publix's reported half-million-dollar contribution to the campaign for governor of Republican and gun-rights advocate Adam Putnam. &nbsp &nbspElon Musk is calling out the mainstream media. The head honcho of SpaceX and Tesla went on a Twitter rant Wednesday, calling the media "holier-than-thou." He went on to say that big media has lost its credibility, blamed it for the election of President Trump and said journalists are obsessed with getting website clicks. Musk says he's creating a website that will keep the media in check. &nbsp &nbsp
